Bois­dale of Canary Wharf is delight­ed to announce that its head chef, Andy Rose, has tri­umphed in the British BBQ Cham­pi­onships, 2012, held at Laver­stoke Park Farm at the weekend.

Andy was declared the win­ner in his heats after a nail-bit­ing day’s com­pe­ti­tion at the ​‘Field To Fork’ Fes­ti­val at the Hamp­shire farm, owned by for­mer F1 world cham­pi­on, Jody Scheck­ter. He will go on to fight for the crown of king of the coals at the finals of the ​‘Laver­stoke Park Farm Presents British BBQ Cham­pi­onships’ at the Weber BBQ Expe­ri­ence at Taste of Lon­don on Sun­day 24^th June, 2012. The heats were judged by some of the country’s most exact­ing and most feared crit­ics. Andy will be bat­tling it out with top chefs from some of the country’s best restau­rants includ­ing Maze, Racine and Rhodes Twen­ty Four. Pre­vi­ous win­ners have includ­ed Cin­na­mon Kitchen and Bistrot Bruno Loubet.

Andy Rose com­ments, ​“The Field To Fork Fes­ti­val at Laver­stoke Park Farm was a fan­tas­tic event at an amaz­ing place. I was thrilled to win the heat of the BBQ Cham­pi­onships and am fired up for suc­cess at Taste of Lon­don. Bois­dale Canary Wharf is already home to some of the world’s best jazz, finest hand-rolled Cuban cig­ars and the best whisky bar bar none. I’m hop­ing that I’ll be able to add BBQ cham­pi­ons to our list of achievements.”
